On Facebook, I posted a link –> to an article and wrote “WWYD? She blows up because her husband’s former mistress is sitting 15 rows away at a football game? Isn’t that a public place and isn’t 15 rows a lot of distance? Folks need to stop looking for trouble, this is a small planet.” The next day I got a FB message from a friend saying their brand new neighbor is my ex. “How close does 15 rows seem now?” I had to smile since that’s about 15 blocks from me. I don’t care but what made me laugh was he’s on Tiger Street. On October 17, I wrote A tiger stalks me in the woods. The Universe is constantly keeping me in stitches.   

Why do I watch the Real Housewives and other reality shows?
Actor Michael Caine tells a great story of sitting once in between takes on a movie set with a young actor.  The newbie complained about being made to wait, “I get paid to act, not to wait.”  Caine, in his seasoned wisdom,  corrected him: “No, as a matter of fact, we are paid to wait.  The acting part of it is just the icing on the cake.”  I’m reminded of this as I sit to watch The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion show. I have several clients related to the Housewives franchise shows so I watch them to keep up with how they are being edited for the public. Michael Caine might remind me the benefit is hearing all the cool behind the scenes stories and that I’m paid to keep up with the drama.
